90% of Taiwan’s Scooters use Swappable Batteries

In 2022, over 90% of Taiwan’s electric scooters relied on the Gogoro battery network. The network does 400,000 battery swaps every day.

Because users swapping [that many] times a day — each one holds it differently, uses it differently, smashes it into the station differently. All this information went to the engineering team, to create software as well as hardware.

Microsoft's Bing AI is an Emotionally Manipulative Liar, and People Love It!

Bing can be seen insulting users, lying to them, sulking, gaslighting and emotionally manipulating people, questioning its own existence, describing someone who found a way to force the bot to disclose its hidden rules as its "enemy," and claiming it spied on Microsoft's own developers through the webcams on their laptops.

Emergency Lighting Drones

Chinese drones equipped with lighting and power through tethered ground A/C cable technology from Turkey currently provide lighting for an area of ~8,000㎡ (2 acres) at night in the earthquake zones, allowing the extension of the rescue schedules

@rimugu> as someone who likes rifle shaped things...

The SMASH AD includes an integrated Laser Range Finder (LRF) that attaches to your weapon.

The user identifies the target (independently or using the detection system guidance), locks on it, the system automatically tracks and then the user pulls and holds the trigger. The system synchronizes the shot release to assure the target
hit.

My favorite is the EAGLE ATTACK DRONE (below), but probably not scalable!

This is the state-of-the-art counter-UAV technology from the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-miBH10bdCs

Your iPhone Is Vulnerable to a Malware Attack Even When It’s Off

Researchers found a way to exploit the tech that enables Apple’s Find My feature, which could allow attackers to track location when a device is powered down.

It turns out that the iPhone’s Bluetooth chip—which is key to making features like Find My work—has no mechanism for digitally signing or even encrypting the firmware it runs... https://www.wired.com/story/iphone-find-my-malware-attack-vulnerability/

First Live Fire Fighting Drill Using Drones

Chinese company, Guofei Aviation, has carried out its first live fire fighting drill using specialized eight-rotor fire-fighting drones.

They are purpose-built, featuring an onboard tank for fire suppressant powder, water jet and a nozzle connecting to an unusually skinny water hose leading to a fire truck/pump on the ground.

A good read:
MIT Abandons Its Mission. And Me.

I have consistently maintained that woke ideology is essentially totalitarian in nature: it attempts to corral the entirety of human existence into one narrow ideological viewpoint and to silence anyone who disagrees.

I believe that these features ultimately derive from the ideology’s abandonment of the principle of the inherent dignity of each human being.

You'd be surprised, anyone with public-facing enterprises, using redundant firewalls, routers and servers may face this issue. Especially true with cloud, multiple data centers or DR deployments.

What happens is, if you don't roll back the error quickly, DNS AAA failure may deauthenticate you, and you are hosed, IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOGIN!

Called the "Chicken & Egg" syndrome... Your AAA server needs DNS to authenticate.

Zuckerberg Loses $6 Billion in Hours as Facebook Plunges

Mark Zuckerberg’s personal wealth has fallen, knocking him down a notch of world’s richest people, after a whistleblower came forward and outages took Facebook Inc.’s flagship products offline.

A selloff sent the social-media giant’s stock plummeting 4.9% on Monday, adding to a drop of about 15% since mid-September.
